Delta Airline Pet and Baggage Policy

According to the Delta Airline Pet Policy, customers are eligible to bring small dogs, cats, and household birds with them in-cabin to selected destinations. The requirements must be:

●       All pets have to fit into a pet carrier and

●       It is necessary for the pets to be at least 10 weeks old for domestic travel.

●       They must be at least 16 weeks old if traveling to the U.S. from another country.

●       When traveling to the E.U., they must be 15 weeks.

●       Passengers are entitled to bring one pet carrier on board. However, in some cases, multiple pets are allowed per carrier.

 

Delta Airlines limits where you can sit if you carry a pet. According to the Delta pet policy, you must avoid choosing seats at the bulkhead and in emergency exit rows. At the same time, you should avoid seats titled as no stowage, which are rows 30 to 35 on the A330-200 aircraft, rows 30 to 43 on the A330-300 aircraft, and center seats on the B757-200 aircraft. Carry-on pets cannot travel in any cabin with flat-bed seats, international business class, international Delta One, or Delta Premium Select.

The pets traveling on a Delta flight must fit into a pet carrier or kennel. Also, that carrier or kennel must fit under the seat in front of you.

 

●       The pet carrier can be both soft-sided and hard-sided. However, it must be leak-proof and ventilated.

●       The pet must be able to move around freely inside the carrier and not protrude from the sides.

●       The pets must stay in their carrier while in the boarding area, on the aircraft, and in Delta lounges.

●       The Airline recommends a soft-sized kennel having a maximum size of 18 inches by 11 inches by 11 inches.

●       The agent is going to keep a record of your kennel dimensions when you contact Delta to add your pet to your reservation.

 

When flying with a pet on Delta, you must note that your pet carrier will count as one of your carry-on items. Besides your carrier, you can carry one personal item on board.
